Joke Silva, Amaka Chukwujekwu thrill in The Grave Dust

Popular Nollywood producer, Obi Madubogwu, is set to premiere his much-anticipated movie, The Grave Dust, in November.

Already, it is generating heightened anticipations among Nollywood movie buffs and critics for the movie, particularly because of its thematic preoccupation and the fact that it features some A-list Nollywood stars, including Joke Silva, Ramsey Nouah, Emeka Okoro, Joseph Benjamin and Amaka Chukwu jekwu.

The psycho-thriller written by Ugezu Ugezu and Saint Joseph, tells the story of a successful stockbroker, who suddenly hits the reverse gear on the lane of success due to reasons he cannot comprehend and how he is left in his own world in his mansion filled with tormenting elements.

Madubogwu, who shot to the limelight with his role in Battle of Musanga, said: “The Grave Dust was conceived to take the industry to the next level. I have done several productions in Nollywood, having practised for over two decades now. The story of The Grave Dust is one of the most unique stories I have encountered. This is why I made sure that nothing was spared in making it a huge success. It is unique in the sense that it questions a lot of concepts that are easily over-looked in the African society. The film was made with Africans in mind, and that is where Nollywood is headed now. It allows the audience to make decisions from the unfolding drama and suspense. I think the highpoint lies in the fact that it has elements of all essentials that make a good film.

“In terms of acting, it highlights the various star actors like Ramsey Nouah, Joke Silva Emeka Okoro and Joseph Benjamin at their best because this is one film they shot with a lot of commitment owing to the unique story line. It will also unveil a new talent, Amaka Chukwujekwu, who played the lead role in the film.”

Madubogwu further disclosed that The Grave Dust, which was directed by Ikechukwu Onyeka and supported by Crown Prince Productions, a frontline entertainment company in Africa, would also be screened to audiences in the United Kingdom, U.S., France, Germany, Holland and South Africa.
